Just superior work and exquisite detail! I have never thought about EPP until last week when Alyce (Blossom Heart Quilts) posted her beginnings of EPP using Liberty of London fabrics! I told her she has created a monster! I have been researching this fun handwork ever since and this La Passacaglia caught my eye!!! This is the most amazing quilt I have ever seen! I&#39;m smitten to say the least! I appreciate your blog posts on this and someday, this quilt will be in my future!!! I just had to comment and say WOW! I will be following your blog to see all the future fun work coming from you!!! Thank you!!!

I&#39;m only half way to finish it but I&#39;m already thinking about the quilting. Based on your work, I&#39;m might try the Aurifil 28wt. My quilt have rosettes of 10 petals, imagine the bulk in the middle of that. I might invent a new way of hand quilting to secure those intersections. Your work is very inspiring.Chantal Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180378126695263724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-58430741244385670212016-05-31T10:51:52.790-07:002016-05-31T10:51:52.790-07:00Hello Wendy..your quilt is stunning.

It is already lovely, and will be gorgeous when finished. I love looking at the close-up views. I still do some hand quilting of small projects, but haven&#39;t done a large quilt that way in quite awhile. Basting with thread was not enjoyable, so I&#39;m glad to know now that it can be done by a long armer.

As you know it was my quilt that won Best of Show in the Great NZ Quilt Show, and I had that quilt basted by Judi Schon in Auckland, on her long arm machine. With so may seams I thought it would be near impossible to baste easily. It cost me $50. which I was happy with. The quilt measures approx. 90&quot; square.<br />Keep up the great blogging....a great source of info. :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655148270853160541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-67648424785561277312016-05-27T23:22:26.919-07:002016-05-27T23:22:26.919-07:00Wow.

The best of show winner at the recent Great New Zealand Quilt show held here in Rotorua was hand quilted. My friends almost had to hold me down - I was so excited. When photos appear of the huge quilt shows in the USA the winners are invariably long arm quilted &quot;to within an inch of their lives&quot; It often puts the quilt design into the background which doesn&#39;t seem right to me. Great job you are doing.

I can&#39;t imagine how wonderful it will be when you are finished!<br /><br />I&#39;m working on Sarah&#39;s current BOM and will check out her video later. I&#39;m reminded of a friend&#39;s quote of how Gwen Marston has embraced the pucker when hand quilting.<br /><br />I&#39;m amazed how much you already quilted. I love Aurifil threads but have not yet been able to see or try the 12 weight. I do have some 28 weight but not tried it for hand quilting. Thanks for all the lovely tips.
